Ordered first part!

I've taken great care to keep from spending very much on this project. I didn't want to start buying parts, only to find out that the engine was seized or otherwise screwed up. When the bike came to me, no one was sure it even ran.

Recent posts outline the process I went through to determine that the electrical system and then the engine, were in fact worth investing time in. While in this phase, I continued to spend little money on it, only purchasing small, inexpensive parts, wiring and cleaning materials.

Last night marked the first time I purchased a part that was needed in the reassembly phase. I purchased a steering bearing kit from p-k-n on ebay. After shipping, it came to about $50 and as of this morning is listed as "shipped". Now I'm waiting.

In the last post, I featured the painted items that are now needed to be reassembled. Next, I'll need to clean up the wheels, paint, new rubber for the rear tire and I'll have a rolling frame. This was my goal for this summer.
